Selecting And Accessing Search Results Using Different Devices

摘要

Techniques include transmitting, using a first computing device, a search query to a search system configured to generate search results in response to a received search query. The techniques further include displaying search results received from the search system in response to the search query on a second computing device. In this example, each search result indicates a function for a computing device to perform. For example, a user selecting each search result may cause a computing device to set a software application into a particular application state. The techniques also include detecting a user selection of one of the search results at the second computing device, transmitting, using the second computing device, an indication of the user selection to the first computing device, and performing, using the first computing device, the function indicated by the one of the search results in response to receiving the indication.
